Professional Aero Grill Install in Houston, TX?

I live in Houston, and purchase an Aero Grill form mymini.com. I know it can be done at home, but I want to be sure that I don't screw it up. So I have decided to have it done professionally. Any suggestions of where to have it done that will do a good job at a good price. I check with Mini of the Woodlands and they are pricy, but I want it done right.

Please help.

The top is really easy to do, no cutting, 15 minutes tops. The bottom requires quite a bit more work, and I can understand not wanting to do it yourself. Maybe your cost would be a bit lower if you Install the top first, and then just get quotes for the lower grill.

If you find someone to do it - pm me and let me know what they charge....

I've been doing these in my garage for free - very good instructions posted here - if you have simple tools - plus a variable speed dremel-like tool with a cutting wheel and a cutting bit is is a pretty simple job. I find most who ask for my help are reluctant to drop the bumper cover the first time but once they see how easy it is they're over that phobia

drive to VA and I'll slap it on in about 3 hours....rather I'll show U how to slap it on in about 3 hours
